Kia Forte Performance
Under the hood of the base Forte model, you find a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The Intelligent Variable Transmission allows you to control your drive seamlessly and enjoy an uninterrupted experience. The base model enjoys an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 31/41 mpg city/highway.
Upgrading to the Forte GT model unlocks more power, giving you the muscle you need to push the pedal to the metal and dominate the open road. This Forte trim features a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, outputting 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The GT trim also upgrades its transmission to a seven-speed dual-clutch auto option with Paddle Shifters. If you prefer better control of your drive, the optional six-speed manual transmission puts you in charge of your experience.

The rear-end of the Kia Forte will leave a striking impression on those who follow - with the Kia Forte, it will feel like everyone is following your lead! The available Smart Trunk™ feature opens up when you stand directly behind it with your key fob!

The lineup offers 111 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume, more than many of its competitors! The split-folding rear seat allows you to pack more items on your next weekend getaway, while comforts like a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and heated/ventilated front seats put your needs first when the weather doesn't cooperate.
